This is a hand carved elephant sculpture. It was made from solid wood and stained a brown color. This majestic elephant was meticulously crafted by a Thai artist. All of the life-like details can be seen, including the lined and rough looking skin, the legs, hooves and nails, eyes, mouth, and tail. You can see the facial expression of the elephant from the minute cuts and etching marks. The artist also included natural looking wooden tusks that finish off this beautiful animal figurine. Elephants have long been revered in Thailand and admired for centuries for their intelligence, strength, and belief of good luck. Many cultures believe that elephant depictions will bring feng shui into their lives. You too can enjoy the ambiance of this magnificent creature by placing the elephant decoration in your living room, dining room, bedroom, or as a desk/shelf accessory for your office.
